Find the following integral: \(\int \bigg( \sqrt x - \frac{1}{\sqrt x}\bigg)^2dx\)
Solution and Explanation
\(\int \bigg( \sqrt x - \frac{1}{\sqrt x}\bigg)^2dx\)
= \(\int \bigg( x+\frac{1}{x}-2\bigg)dx\)
= \(\int xdx + \int \frac{1}{x} dx-2 \int 1.dx\)
= \(\frac{x^2}{2}+\log\mid x \mid -2x+C\)

Concepts Used:
Integral
The representation of the area of a region under a curve is called to be as integral. The actual value of an integral can be acquired (approximately) by drawing rectangles.
- The definite integral of a function can be shown as the area of the region bounded by its graph of the given function between two points in the line.
- The area of a region is found by splitting it into thin vertical rectangles and applying the lower and the upper limits, the area of the region is summarized.
- An integral of a function over an interval on which the integral is described.
Also, F(x) is known to be a Newton-Leibnitz integral or antiderivative or primitive of a function f(x) on an interval I.
F'(x) = f(x)
For every value of x = I.
Types of Integrals:
Integral calculus helps to resolve two major types of problems:
- The problem of getting a function if its derivative is given.
- The problem of getting the area bounded by the graph of a function under given situations.
